year moved into unit, household size, occupants per room, number of
units in structure, year structure was built, heating fuel, telephone
service, plumbing and kitchen facilities, vehicles available, value of
home, and monthly rent. With subject content identical to that
provided in Summary File 3, the information is presented in 813 tables
that are tabulated for every geographic unit represented in the
data. There is one variable per table cell, plus additional variables
with geographic information. The data cover more than a dozen
geographic levels of observation (known as "summary levels" in the
Census Bureau's nomenclature) based on the 109th Congressional
Districts, e.g., the 109th Congressional Districts, themselves, Census
tracts within the 109th Congressional Districts, and county
subdivisions within the 109th Congressional Districts. There are 77
data files for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico.

The collection is supplied in 54 ZIP archives. There is a separate
ZIP file for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico,
and for the convenience of those who need all of the data, a separate
ZIP archive with all 4,004 data files. The codebook and other
documentation are located in the last ZIP archive.

Data Collection Notes:

ICPSR has not checked this data collection.

Methodology

Sample:
Every person and housing unit in the United States was
asked basic demographic and housing questions (for example, race, age,
and relationship to householder). A sample of these people and housing
units was asked more detailed questions. The sampling unit for Census
2000 was the housing unit, including all occupants. There were four
different housing unit sampling rates, 1-in-8, 1-in-6, 1-in-4, and
1-in-2, designed to yield an overall average of about 1-in-6.
